TIG welding electrode

brasstungstenaluminum

Tungsten electrodes - with the exception of pure electrodes are doped with oxide additives in order to achieve easy ignition of the arc and to increase the current and temperature capacity. As a substitute for the more frequently used, slightly radioactive electrodes based on thorium, radiation-free electrodes with cerium, lanthanum oxide and mixed oxide are recommended. TECHNICAL FACTS TIG tungsten electrodes W (WP) Identification colour green, 99.9% tungsten - Current type AC / DC. Pure tungsten standard electrode for alternating current welding of aluminium, magnesium, aluminium bronze and brass. Good ignition behaviour, high arc stability. DC in low-current range possible.
